Translation

In the name of the Lord. I, Edward, by the Grace of God king of the Anglo-Saxons, at the entreaty of the venerable
community of the church of Malmesbury, have given a small piece of my land, that is, of 5 hides, to the aforementioned
community, in the place that is called Hankerton, in exchange for another estate of the same extent [in the place] that rustics
call Farmborough, as an eternal inheritance. The aforementioned lands are free from all secular burdens. I have made this
exchange at the entreaty of the brethren for their convenience because the land I have given to the aforementioned brothers is
only two miles from their monastery; that which I have received, on the other hand, is almost 20 miles from the aforementioned
monastery. If any kings or principes, however, should audaciously presume to destroy this liberty (which we do not want), may he
be cursed on the Day of the Last Judgment, unless he should make a worthy atonement because he presumed to act wickedly. This
charter was written in the year from the incarnation of the Lord 901, in indiction 7. + Edward, king + Ealhswith, mother of the
king + Ælfflæd, wife of the king + Ocea, minister + Uffa, minister + Beorhthelm, minister + Ælfheah, minister + Æthelweard,
